Homemade Ice Cream So Fast Your Head Will Spin

So, I did this on the fly and I neglected to take pictures a.) prior to eating it and b.) before putting it in an unsightly plastic container, but this is such an easy thing to make, given that you have a blender or food processor and 5 minutes to spare. I was skeptical when I came upon the idea, but not having the motivation to bake and wanting something sweet, in I dove.

This would make the perfect complement to a cookout with friends. It takes so little time and no hot oven. It is sweet, fruity and fresh tasting. I am pretty sure I will make it again, as I've learned I have little patience for the ice cream maker we bought and the space it requires in our tiny freezer for lengthy periods prior to even making ice cream.

Fast and Delicious Homemade Ice Cream
(serves 3ish)
12 oz. frozen fruit (I used raspberries and blueberries, some I had frozen myself and some store-bought)
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream (though yogurt or milk would surely work)
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Toss all ingredients into food processor bowl and let go until consistency is even and fruit is cut up. It should be the texture of soft serve.

Should you have leftovers, pop it into a freezer friendly container and press a layer of plastic wrap over it to prevent freezer burn and freeze.
